I have two hydraulic outlets on my planter tractor. I use one to lift the planter and one for the markers. I also have an overhead auger to deliver dry fertilizer to 4 hoppers. Rather than disconnecting the hydraulic lines for the markers and attaching the auger orbit motor hoses every time I fill the hoppers I would like to put a tee in the marker line. At the tee I would put a ball valve in one hose on each line - one going to the markers and one going to the orbit motor. I could easily close one and open the other. Has anyone else ever used a plumbing ball valve in a hydraulic application? The ball valves are only rated at 600 psi. They are heavy brass. What gives? The casting, the stem seal, or the nylon insert around the ball inside? It probably doesn't take many psi to move the markers or to power the auger. Is it worth a try. I have a hydraulic multiplier (splitter), but I have enough electronics on the planter and tractor now. I want this to be simple. Any other ideas? Thanks.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
